Knowledge and Imagination in Hume's Treatise of Human Nature
Abstract
David Hume, one of the greatest of England's philosophers, was born in Edinburgh on April 26, 1711. His natural attraction for philosophy evinced itself during his scholastic years as a student at the University of Edinburgh, where he, as a member of a thoughtful group, began a correspondence with the eminent thinker of his day, the 1 Irish "Plato", Berkeley. The studious nature of the growing boy led to the choice of law as a profession for him, but he found an insurmountable aversion to all but literary pursuits.
